I don't entirely understand the appeal either - you're beholden to the hardware something fierce, and if your goal is to learn programming, since it's Linux based you might as well learn on something more powerful and comfortable.
Flip side, of course, is that anything that gets people digging into C code or asm and learning more about low-level coding/cpu architecture is still a good thing, no matter how they go about it.
